Christmas 2026 Delivery & Order-By Dates

Here's when to order so your parcel has the best chance of arriving before Christmas Day. We post from Maclean on the NSW North Coast. Orders placed before 2pm AEDT on a business day go out the same day.

- Made-to-order boards: all our boards are made to order except the Huon Pine Cheese or Bread Board and the Tubb Cheeseboard, which are ready to ship. Made-to-order boards need extra time and can't be sent Express or gift-wrapped. Order them by Tue 8 Dec, wherever you are in Australia.
- Australia Post doesn't guarantee Christmas delivery, so earlier is safer. These dates give your parcel the best chance of arriving on time, but once it's with the carrier we can't promise a delivery date.
